How this service works
Live UK grid carbon intensity and generation mix (National Grid ESO): intensity forecast/actual/index, generation mix %, renewable share. No params.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the current UK grid carbon intensity (forecast and actual values in gCO2/kWh), a carbon index label (e.g. 'very low', 'low', 'moderate', 'high'), and a breakdown of the generation mix by fuel type (gas, coal, wind, solar, nuclear, hydro, biomass, imports, etc.) as percentages, plus the overall renewable share.
Example use cases
Green energy scheduling for smart home
“Check the UK grid carbon intensity right now and tell me if this is a good time to run my dishwasher and charge my EV, or if I should wait for a cleaner grid.”
Carbon footprint reporting for UK office
“What's the current carbon intensity of the UK grid and what percentage is coming from renewable sources? I need it for our sustainability report.”
Real-time grid monitoring dashboard
“Fetch the latest UK National Grid carbon intensity index and full generation mix breakdown — I want to display it on our energy monitoring dashboard.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://pyfile-agent.taile3ff35.ts.net/data/energyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time UK electricity grid carbon intensity and generation mix data without any configuration. It is ideal for sustainability dashboards, smart scheduling (e.g. EV charging, industrial load shifting), or any agent that needs to reason about the greenness of the UK grid at the current moment. It wraps National Grid ESO data in a single zero-parameter call, making it simpler than calling the National Grid ESO API directly.
Side effects
- National Grid ESO API upstream outage returns 502 or empty data
- Network timeout if the Tailscale host is unreachable
- Stale data if National Grid ESO feed is delayed
- No query parameters accepted — passing any will be silently ignored
